Ahoy! People don’t just build on land. They build on water, too! Set sail with ScienceTellers on a thrilling action-packed adventure about a crew of quirky pirates marooned on a deserted island. With mutiny and high-tide looming, they must rescue their salty captain and find a way to construct a ship before all hope is lost … at sea! Planks, sails, rigging, rails... what else could building a pirate ship possibly take?Throughout the story, volunteers from the audience will help us explore the incredible science behind clouds, flash paper, air pressure, inertia, explosions and more. Don’t miss this refreshing nautical tale with a twist! For ages 5+.

Mindfulness can help children increase their attention span, focus and concentration, improve memory, better social functioning, self esteem, reduces stress, and can improve relationships with parents. The class helps everyone to experience what mindfulness is and to show caregivers/parents how to use it in their lives in a practical way. In the class we do simple and fun activities to encourage mindfulness and relaxation so that everyone can see it in action. Fun props, such as kindness rock, puppets, chime bells, animal breathing exercises, and friendly wishes heart bell, are used to engage the children in sensory activities and to learn how to be more mindful. For kids ages 3-5 and their adults. Space is limited. Please pick up a ticket at the desk in the children's starting 15 minutes before the program begins.

Ed Popielarczyk's Magical Moments

Contact: Newton Free Library 617-796-1360

My name is Ed Popielarczyk. I am a professional magician, balloon sculptor, flea circus ringmaster, and storyteller. I have been entertaining children and family audiences for over thirty years.My magic show is a comedy show that uses a lot of audience participation. YOU are the stars of the show because you help to make the magic happen. I usually have lots of trouble! I don’t just “do a trick” I tell a story that revolves around each trick. It may be a short story or a longer one, but each story helps to bring the trick together. Everyone who comes on “stage” to be a helper receives a souvenir! The show is appropriate for ages three and up. I hope to see you there!!!

Calling all kids aged 5 and under! Have fun celebrating winter with Jeannie Mack. Come sing and act out songs about making snowmen, twirling around like snowflakes, sledding down hills, and drinking hot chocolate – to mention just a few. Clap along, dance, and enjoy hand play and finger play games with Jeannie – all to do with the magic of winter!

Let's take a look at books! For children in kindergarten with a care giver. Adults and children read the book in advance, then join Sandy for book exploration and fun related activities.
